I have been a keen student of Meditation & Astrology for more than two decades now. I have been blessed to find good teachers in both the subjects, who shared with me secrets that I have till date not found in any book. A few of the books do mention some initial steps but furthers details have been purposely obscured, which leaves the practitioner in doubt & stuck without any significant benefit.
And trust me when I say this because I am a passionate reader. I have spent most of my free time in search for the hidden truths that govern & shape human life from an occult point of view .
This is the first time I am contributing something on Steemit. I came across this beautiful sharing forum, in search of better understanding of cryptocurrencies. I make my investments based on both Financial & Astrological forecasting and till date I have been fairly lucky.
I felt like sharing a few thought on the basic concept of Meditation and intuition, as taught to me by my master in India. How good, advanced or bad I am, will be upto the judgement of my readers. I will try to share my thoughts in series of medium sized articles / write-ups for ease of understanding.
Meditation as concept has been totality commercialised in todays world, be it in the Eastern or the Western society. The Eastern society has in fact even gone a step further and has demented the basic concept by destroying any intrinsic value that remained in this holistic science by making a mockery of it.
The reason for this degradation, is that most of the people are not privy to the basic principals based on which the foundation of Meditation (& also Astrology) has been established. Hence they believe in any sort of promise or advertisement that lures them in a trap with the use of the magic word Meditation along with a few fancy occult symbols.
In this article I will try to explain the fundamental principle on which the foundation of Mediation has been established. The Indian Hindu Vedas, the old religious Vedic manuscript proclaims that the entire cosmos of made up of energy and vibrations. The same concept has now been accepted by the scientific society of the modern world too. Anything that we see or feel is made of energy and has peculiar vibration attached to it. This fact also extends to our body, mind and soul (for a better word we can say essence) too. The higher the vibration, the finer quality of energy attached to the entity.
In very simple words the Vedic School of Meditation philosophy states that the highest vibration & accordingly the finest energy is God or the Universal Energy & Mind, which govern the Cosmos.
Each entity at the cosmic level is graded on a Universal Scale by the quality of the vibration that is associated or attached to it. If we say that a particular human being is spiritually evolved, it basically means that his or her body vibrates at a higher frequency which is closer to the ultimate Universal God frequency.
Now please understand that when we used the word body, it does not only include the gross physical body but if readers are interested, in future write ups I will also try to explain the various types of bodies associated with each human being, vibrating at different frequencies for different purposes. Usually the frequency that we are talking about is the casual body.
The quality of vibration of our body also determines the evolution & various potentials we are able to manifest in our lives, including intuition, undivided focus and concentration, physical health & glow, mental abilities, hypnotism, self control, creativity etc. These are the first level of potential benefits which can be easily gained with very basic meditation practises & techniques.
For example my Guru used to say that if there are 3 persons standing near a tall tree with strong branches and the guru asks each one of them how far can each one of them see the area beyond. The first one with a lower vibration is standing on the ground near the base of the tree & will be able to see only a few hundred meters ahead. While the next person with a slightly higher vibration, will be sitting on the initial branches of the tree & will be able to see a bit further because of his elevation while the 3rd person with an more evolved vibration will be sitting somewhere near the top of the tree and his expanse of vision will be greatest and will be able see the area of a few miles.
The more fine our vibration becomes the more in tune & in harmony we become to the universe, which allows us to tap into the basic energy sources & harness the Universal energy, knowledge & power.
Meditation is one the best tools to evolve or increase the quality of our vibrations. There are various energy centres in our body (Physical, mental & casual etc.), which if harnessed with right meditative tools can improve our vibrations that help us to manifest various inherent potentials laying dormant in each & every human to varying degrees.
Now the manifestation can be at Physical level for improved heath, glow etc. for which there are specific type of meditation. Similarly for enhanced manifestation of mental or spiritual potential too, f there are other types of meditation practices like Raja Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Kriya yoga etc.
But in essence Meditation is a simple holistic tool that helps us enhance the quality of our vibrations and energy, which in lay man terms can be positive or negative. There are other tools also, which can be used either in combination with meditation or in isolation, like specific Mantra or chants, which when uttered in the correct tone create vibrations that change the vibrations of our body and environment; provided the correct pronunciation and tone is known.
Basis the feedback or reviews, I will write the next part or set of articles explaining in brief a few Mediation exercises, which I have been taught for different benefits. Intuition is one the best manifested potentials, which can easily harnessed by any person with the correct meditative techniques.
Hope this helps in improving the overall understanding of the concept & foundation of Meditation.
